Thread: Pros/Cons of SCAG Commercial Edger

I have an option to purchase an unused SCAG Commercial Edger. I'm still waiting for more information on the machine (as to whether it was manufactured in '90 or '98; model of engine; etc. etc.). The owner acquired it in a package deal with a mower and has yet to use edger. I would like to obtain opinions on this machine. Are they ideal for landscape bed edging or strictly for sidewalk/driveway edging? How do they perform in the aforementioned applications? Would a handheld stick edger perform the same duties and the same level of quality & efficiency? Any advice/information/opinions would be much appreciated. Thx in advance.
